Of course what worries me in a sense is that the counter-reading might suggest that B thought that maybe without all the hype there would be a way of getting at some sense of the reality of the war... any thoughts? I also have Simulations (I'm guessing that is the Sim &Sim yer refering to?) and yup I'm a taker fer that one too.
